Among these items is a Word 2003 add-in (VSTO 2005 SE, .NET 2.0) that reportedly had been working fine in 2007, but our deployment environment calls for 2003. It installs apparently fine for Office 2003 -- no errors, shows up in add/remove -- but the toolbar is unavailable with...
I am trying to build a VSTO add-in for Expression Web 2.

Hi How does Excel VSTO Work?

Now I want to call this method from...
